Abstract

Web-based learning involves provision of personal on-line spaces to learners and teachers. Yet due to a lack of proper privacy policies and technical frameworks to implement them, seemingly innocent data transactions can carry risks to privacy in e-learning environments. We investigate privacy issues in e-learning and make recommendations for building environments that enhance privacy but allow features like content personalization and peer- collaboration. iHelp, a learning environment that supports both learners and instructors, implements many of these recommendations.
